Dear friends,
AVCX Classic stalwart (editor, constructor, key figure all around, also editor of AVCX Trivia) Karen Lurie has this week's puzzle, called "Double Elimination" at 1.5/5 difficulty. Karen is a gem to work with, and making a lot of great puzzles in many modes these days.
Meanwhile, we're continuing our fall/winter subscription drive, which is going well so far! One of the things we're doing is swapping plugs with other outlets that we really believe in, and which share our mission -- not only in terms of puzzles, but in terms of a commitment to independent media. One of these is The New York Groove, a local news site owned and operated by journalists dedicated to helping everyone be a better New Yorker. Its focus is on helpful and fun reporting and writing that shows readers how to take more advantage of the city, and how to shape its future. From guides on what to do when you see ICE on the streets and how to get more trees planted on your block, to IRL events that help build community, The Groove has you covered. Subscribe to The Groove for free, or become a member for as little as $6 a month for perks, like this election crossword!
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
